Does a Great Picture on Your Bubble Get More Clicks?

I often see Bubbles without photos. I occasionally post a Bubble without a photo, but not very often. Do you think that a Bubble does better if you have a photo? Do you think the type or colors in the Bubble photo matter?

I'm a visual person, and I tend to click on Bubbles with an interesting photo. If I'm cruising through the new Bubbles, I usually click on Bubbles that have an interesting photo, perhaps a hobby in which I'm interested like flowers or crafts. Do you think bright colors in photos matter? I'm also a sucker for clicking photos of cute, cuddly animals. I often notice writers putting pictures on their Bubbles that are not related to their Bubbles, like an abstract, colorful jpeg. Do you think that influences their views?

The photo probably doesn't influence visits as a result of search engines, but I wonder if it makes a difference on internal traffic.

I believe posting pictures that are relevant to your post does help and I am not positive but I would say that the name of the photo should be the title of your post or a tag for a search engine to pick up on it. I read some with no pictures but I am more likely to click on one with a picture.

I don't think it makes a big difference. Let's say an average article generates $1 and the pictures get you 25 more page views. That's $1.25. But if you posted a second quick article in the same time it takes you to add a picture, then you've now made $2 instead.

Don't get me wrong, I love pictures. But when you don't have time to do pretty pictures AND post, I think it's best to at least get a post up with no image.

i like to post photos that are relevant to my article and help to enhance it! i am not too keen on the photos of my connections though i enjoy watching them but if i like their articles it's not mainly because of their photos.
